EPL Top Clubs Interested In 18-year-old Charlton Defender Ezri Konsa

Charlton are bracing themselves for January offers from the Premier League big guns for their latest hot prospect, 18-year-old defender Ezri Konsa, according to the Daily Mirror.

Interest is mounting for the teenage centre-back after Konsa broke into Russell Slade’s side this season.

And there is set to be a big battle to land the 18 year-old when the transfer window reopens in January.

Representatives from the Premier League’s big guns have been regulars at Charlton’s games this season to watch Konsa.

That group is led by Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Mirror Sport understands numerous scouts attended Charlton’s 1-1 draw with Oldham on Tuesday to again run the rule over Konsa. He is rated at Charlton as just as big a prospect as Joe Gomez, who joined Liverpool for £3.5m last summer.

Konsa joined Charlton as an under-11 and signed a contract last December that expires in 2019.​
